Spring Bunco -- April & May
Sorry for the delay in getting our April Bunco information to you.... but... better late than never... right?!?!
Due to illness, baseball games and just plain, old busy lives, only 9 ladies were able to attend the event on Tuesday, April 20, at Toni's home on Rolling Hills Drive. But the group had a fantastic night playing with "ghosts."
Veteran Bunco-player, Brandi, took the title for "Most Losses."
Susan scooped up "Most Buncos" and "Most Wins"
...and Christy B. won the prize for "Most Wins."
Wait a second...perhaps Christy won second place? Ooops. That's what this blog writer gets for not attending April Bunco! (Can anyone clarify?!?!)
May's Bunco took place at Cara's house on Oaklyn Hills Drive last night, May 18. Twelve ready-to-play ladies were in attendance, with many of the "original" Bunco players on hand. But the newcomers definitely had the advantage. Beginners luck? Perhaps. However you want to look at it, our new Oaklyn Hills' resident, Kristin, took the coveted "Most Wins."
Paige (and baby!) claimed "Most Buncos."
And Deidra (a Bunco newbie) had the honor of claiming the "Most Losses" title.
The evening was full of howls, laughs and shrieks of victory. It was also riddled with the dreaded "snake eyes" (rolling three 1's and wiping out ALL your team's points). Cathryn actually rolled snake eyes as she was explaining the concept to someone... immediately after they had rolled three 1's. Snake eyes were popping up all over the place! But Christy C. led the crowd with 4... or perhaps 5...? The ladies eventually stopped counting in fear that they would curse the whole group! Nonetheless, it was enough to make the group consider a special prize for such an impressive feat.
June's Bunco event is still to be determined. A "theme night" has been suggested, so keep your eyes open for details... and for pictures. There's always "Amazons vs. Pygmies," as this photo might suggest!
OK.... Don't get short with me! That "Amazons vs. Pygmies" idea is actually head and shoulders above the rest. No tall tales here. We're actually a little short on ideas right now. It's no small matter. In fact, the long of the short of it is: we don't know the theme or the date as of right now. ;)

Neighborhood Yard Sale & Bake Sale -- Returns June 5
Don't throw out that old sofa or get rid of those two-sizes-too-small clothes just yet! The second annual neighborhood yard sale and bake sale returns to Oaklyn Hills on Saturday, June 5, to raise more money for our area. (We raised almost $1,000 last year, so we are really excited to try this fun event again this year!)
The event committee is currently working out all the details, so be looking for more information, fliers and application forms -- soon! (Or feel free to e-mail us with any questions.)
Like last year, neighbors will be able to join the fun by making a small donation (and donating a part of their "profits") to the common area! The event committee will place ads about the neighborhood sale in The Birmingham News and on craigslist, and we will post signs on the major roads in our area.
We will also be collecting baked goods to sell near the front of the neighborhood... as people come in to check out all the great deals! So please help us by baking your delicious cookies, breads, cakes and more! We had some AMAZING goodies last year, so come early if you want to pick some things up for your family!
And this year, we're planning on including a special neigbors-only "sneak peak" on Friday night -- before the sale -- in case there are some good deals or special items.
Hope y'all will participate -- by buying, baking, donating and/or selling!

Bunco Keeps Rolling Through March
March 23 was the date for the latest Bunco gathering in Oaklyn Hills. The event was hosted by Natalie, with Susan as her helper.
The girls had lots of fun (as always) and showcased a few new winners this time! Amy was on her game with 4 buncos, but Gailyn beat her out for most wins (after an intense roll-off).
Don't feel bad, though: Amy won for most Buncos of the night.
And Kathy took the title of most losses.
The next Bunco game will be held on Tuesday, April 20, at Toni's house.

February Bunco Fun
The Bunco girls were at it again on Tuesday, February 16, at the home of Brandi on Rolling Hills Drive.
The smaller-then-usual group of only 10 players had a great time, with Christy B. ending up with most wins and Paige ending up with most losses... for the second month in a row!
Most buncos for the evening was an incredible three-way tie between Cathryn, Cara and Leigh Ann.
But after a roll-off, Cara walked away with the title.
Because of the dates for Spring Break this March, our typical, second-Tuesday-night Bunco game is being moved to March 23. Natalie will be hosting, and Susan is helping!

January Bunco: Rolling-in The New Year
After a month off for the holidays, the ladies of Oaklyn Hills were excited to get together again for the first neighborhood Bunco game of 2010 on January 19. Cathryn opened up her home as hostess for the evening, and Paige helped.
Veteran Bunco player, Tina, won the coveted title of "most wins.
"Brandi and Paige tied for "most losses;" after a roll-off, Paige ended up with the title, which is probably not as coveted... but still fun and marginally profitable!
Cathryn and Cara tied for the "most Buncos" and decided to split the prize money.
And in other noteworthy news, Krystal rolled a record-breaking 5 snakes eyes!
Next month's Bunco game takes place on February 16. Brandi will host, and Tina will be the helper.
